brigade-music was a Berlin based label focusing on Experimental Electronica music that existed from 2008 to 2012. It's concept was to offer a forum for a mutual cooperation between musicians and label regarding the realization and creation of a record and also the distribution of the same. That is to say that the musicians were becoming part of brigade-music for the period of the collaboration.

Furthermore brigade-music established a platform to DJs and non-commercial mixtapers for them to present and offer their sets and mixes for free download.

On 7/7/2014 Bernd H., a former Brigade artist and member of the band Tri-Meh , was arrested in Venezuela in regards to an anti-racist motivated felony he participated in almost 20 years ago in Berlin. In Germany Bernd is still wanted for being involved in a failed plot including explosives which was aimed to bring down or at least cause some serious damage to the building site of a refugee prison in Berlin - Gruenau in 1995.
Now Germany is demanding his extradition with immense efforts. This determined attempt of the German authorities to prosecute and imprison an anti-racist activist after 20 years seems completely unreasonable and rather questionable especially when relating it to the facts that are continuously emerging from the presently ongoing lawsuit of the NSU terror group and the so called NSU murders. More and more evidence about the accused fascist members of the NSU terror group and the circumstances of the committed murders (10 at least) come to light and one really has to wonder about the inability of the authorities to solve these crimes that took place between 2000 and 2007 much earlier. At least, it is rather obvious that they ignored or turned a blind eye on these racist based killings far too long and you logically have to speculate whether they even tolerated these racist acts or more so.
Freedom for Bernd!No extradition!

Due to our financial collapse, brigade music will disband for a second period of unknown length. We are hoping to recover in the near future and to be back with refreshed financial resources or with the help of an yet unknown investor. Our web-shop will remain available.
We would like to thank all our supporters and friends. Hasta la vista!!
